Had to Google it, doesn't help that it's also a name in Dutch. But it had something to do with replacing oil with water.And I still don't get why it's controversial and what it had to do with any of this. So confused!To quote Egon, it would be bad.

Imagine it as a new way to drill for oil but creating an increased risk for tainting the water supply of nearby communities, potential for more oil spills, triggering more earthquakes, and releasing more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Paul Rudd portrays the 2nd Ant-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. Mark Ruffalo portrays Bruce Banner/Hulk. Ruffalo is an outspoken voice against frakking. Now that that is explained, what loosely passed as a joke is no longer a joke. Thx for trying. I still don't get it as I don't know what frakking is.

Remember Vigo is in the fire house during the course of the game. So it actually follows the first two films itself. There's still a possibility.That doesn't really mean anything.

But... The remark was off-the-cuff, Dan may not've remembered the game at that exact moment, or he might've figured it wouldn't be as memorable to people outside of the community. There's a reasonable chance the game may be considered canon, but we'll find out in ten months.

Help a guy out here!Paul Rudd portrays the 2nd Ant-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. Mark Ruffalo portrays Bruce Banner/Hulk. Ruffalo is an outspoken voice against frakking. Now that that is explained, what loosely passed as a joke is no longer a joke.

This might mean that the video game isn't taken into canon anymore

An omission of a mention isn't something to be alarmed with. It ties more into the two movies than it does into the game. Next.

I really thought you guys would have more to say about the descendants part...

We've already been speaking dozens of pages about who the new characters could be descended from. The new info about Rudd's character being a seismologist is the catnip we're pawing at.

There certainly are tricks you can do but in the end it's a headache so I chose to use a separate audio board. Here is an example of playing audio

rabidprototypes looks to be using some integrated circuits to handle the bar graph. Specifically this is the chip for the led driver https://ams.com/as1115. Looks like a similar concept as the sx1509 we are using for the bargraph just in a smaller package and specifically designed to drive led's.Yeah, looks like the PWM of the arduino is not that great. I could probably get by, but I probably want something better for quality. I like the SD card approach though.

As promised my playmobil Ecto 1-a. I have the original Playmobil Ecto too!

Dan explicitly mentioning that it follows the first two movies, so I guess the people who were worried about GB2 being retconned out can relax!

This might mean that the video game isn't taken into canon anymore LOL! I think that was Dan’s way of just letting the reporter know that this new movie is a sequel to the original film series. Which is exactly what it is. Most of the press and general public are aware that there were 2 Ghostbusters films. They may not be aware of the video game so in order to answer the reporter’s question it is probably easier to just mention the movies. I doubt the movie will go out of it’s way to acknowledge nor deny the events of the game happened. A lot of time has passed since Ghostbusters 2 and this new movie so it is pretty easy to except the possibility that the events of the game happened in November of 1991.

I know a few years ago Erik said they are since Ghost Corps got involved too, but I feel like the inclusion of Optimus and the rest of the autobots & decepticons kinda break the film continuity imo. Anybody else feel that way?It's set in the comic book continuity of IDW Ghostbusters (which is it's own thing and is based on the Film/Movie Canon) and IDW TMNT (which crossed over with the IDW GB's via Dimensions in two mini-series); I don't think it's set in the original 1984 film continuity; nor did it broke continuity. The Transformers in the second current TF IDW canon takes place in the HCBU (Hasbro Comic Book Universe).

Anybody else feel that way? No not really. The comics have done a very good job with the world building. It started out very grounded, and built it's way up to the more outrageous stories in the most wonderful of ways. I mean during this time the Ghostbusters have met the Ninja Turtles, Nearly Every GB Counterpart they have in the Multiverse, and Now they have met the Transformers as they exist in the Ghostbusters Reality. It doesn't really break the film continuity for me.

Once I finish the loom clamp this afternoon I will be painting both sides of the motherboard in the same satin black as the pack.

I heating up some sintra to create a small shelf to mount the soundboard to using nylon stands and screws. I used a block of wood and clamps to help shape this piece. Very easy to manipulate the shape of this material.

I may have purchased a bit too think a piece of sintra but it will work out just fine. I will also be using a piece to mount to my cyclotron shelf to hold the relay and cyclotron boards next to each other. This will most likely sit in the middle of the reflector cups area of the lights for the cyclotron.

To mark the center points of the cyclotron lights, I mounted the shelf on the motherboard and placed the pack on. Then I dropped the reflector cups on the outside of the cyclotron holes to get the center points for the lights.

These a close-ups of the punch holes I made for these lights. I tried but it was difficult to see the center punch holes clearly but you should be able to see them a little bit:

I took a grinding bit on the Dremel tool to open the holes a bit to pass the LED light inside the cups. I will be securing them in the cups prior to mounting the shelf with possibly hot-glue or use the idea that canpara had with the sink washers. If I take the washer route, I will then mount the washer to the bottom of the reflector cup.

Power Cell Lights:

For some reason, I really had some difficulty in lining up these lights with the mount I have. I did purchase a power cell mount from Benofkent and this piece is very well built. I had to cut down the bottom portion as a result of the circuit board and the placement of the ribbon cable connectors.

This was my make-shift mount until I had acquired the nylon standoffs and screws. I had to put this part off until I had those items to then modify the lower part of this mount and drill holes for the standoffs.

I cut about a 1/4" off the top of the base of this mount.

This is the top part of the mount. I drilled a 2mm holes in the mount and then tapped to 3mm. This allowed me to be able to hand screw in the nylon standoffs.

This is the image of it together. I didn't get a picture of it in its place on the motherboard.

Here is a small video after I jockeyed the lights into the position and holding it with tape. Click on the image to view it. It will show the chase lights of the power cell. If it can't be seen, please let me know. Sorry for the side angle. I recorded this on the phone vertically but it saved it on its side.

On a side note, I popped out the lenses so I could get a better view of inside the pack for all of the shelf and cyclotron stuff. I made the mistake and glued the lenses in before this step. I got ahead of myself a bit with that. Yet, I did mess up the lenses at little with the amount of glue that I used, so this was a blessing in disguise. I since have received replacement lenses because they all had some amount of glue on them that I could not remove which could be seen rather easily.

Since it's a beautify day outside, it's off to teach some baseball and then I'll be back at it later.
